How to Direct your Couples for Candid Photos | Behind the Scenes with Becca

28 146



This is a full behind the scenes video with Becca Cannon! I had Kidron come a long on a very real photo shoot with me to film all the fun prompts and poses I have my couples do. This session was very unique because I had never met my couple before this session so I didn’t have much of a chance to get to know them before hand. However, before and during the session I wanted to get to know them a little bit to help make the session more comfortable. One of the best ways to make them feel comfortable is by a lot of direction in the photos. And this is what the video is for! You can see how I am constantly giving them direction and positive encouragement to reassure them they’re doing an amazing job! So if you need inspiration on how to get these natural reactions and to really see their personality come out in the photos then you will definitely enjoy this video!

***So many are asking what cameras and lenses I’m using! Nikon D750 Nikon D810 + 35mm f1.8 + 24mm f1.8

    I absolutely loved the sitting down photos! My favorite was the raspberries one! They are such an adorable couple! I really loved the making it a game idea! It keeps them less focused on the camera and more focused on each other!

    How do you set the camera? I mean you checked the result from time to time but didn't seem to change the setting. I wonder whether the setting work with different situation as you move around
